Motherwort

Motherwort is a medicinal herb with a wide variety of uses, from helping induce labor and ease pregnancy, to easing menopause symptoms, and in combination with other herbs, has been used as an abortive. So what is this young woman contemplating... helping a friend with a pregnancy, perhaps, or maybe her own concerns? Either way, she has a basket of Motherwort freshly picked.

Gunslinger Artist's Hand

Originally painted for the 'Artists in Art' show Elizabeth Whelan hosted in 2017, this painting has become the impetus for a new body of work on hands and creative endeavors. Elizabeth is very interested in showcasing artists, artisans, and tradespeople who work with their hands, and now, the hands themselves -- what incredible tools they are!
